AWMTB is a co-ed club open to all Archie Williams High School students, and anyone interested in the sport can join. We’re a ‘no-cut’ team, so whether you're new to mountain biking or have years of experience, there is a place for everyone. For fitness, for competition, for fun, our no-cut policy ensures that all students can reach the goals they've set for themselves. The only requirement is participating in regular practices at least twice a week.

We are a club team but behave like a varsity sport. We are the largest team at Archie Williams High School. We are inclusive no cuts, no bench, everyone participates.

Parent powered

Parents are the glue that holds AWMTB together. Without parent volunteers and coaches, we couldn't do the amazing things we do. From getting athletes to practice to supporting the team on race day, there are a hundred and one critical roles that parents play throughout the season. Please take a minute or two to review the parent volunteer requirements and sign up for volunteer position at the next race.

Let's Get Started

A rider must complete several steps to be “practice ready.” Heads up to returning riders and parents that registration and team dues will change slightly this for the 24/25 Season. You can get started filling out the items below:

Step 1: Participation Form

Step 2: League Registration

You should have received a separate email from NICA with an invitation to register your student-athlete in the NICA Pit Zone.

Complete the registration info, sign the waiver and pay ONLY the $60 Norcal fee and the $50 NICA fee for a total of $110. DO NOT PAY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL RACES -the team will collect these fees separately. Verify your student-athlete shows in the Pit Zone as “practice ready” to be able to participate in all the preseason events and regular team rides. Due Date: October 14th
